Chapter 575: The wrath of the gods descends on the world, and the fate of destruction cannot be changed

The armistice came very suddenly.

The Uprising and City Defense Committee, which was responsible for organizing the fighting and communicating with the Confederacy, suddenly issued an order to stop all fighting. The insurrectionists who have built barricades in the streets of Bijaland must not only put away their weapons, but also must dismantle the barricades and clear the roads in the shortest possible time.

"Nothing can be more ridiculous than this!"

The insurrectionists who sacrificed many comrades did not understand, and Loper was one of them. After being bombarded by 24-pound and 32-pound siege artillery, Tina and many of her companions were gone.

Brother Sauron, who was lucky enough to survive, took the lead in protesting and refused to give up his weapons and struggle.

"That's your business!" The herald who came to inform everyone shouted hoarsely. "In half an hour, you can go and see for yourself. The troops on the opposite side have all withdrawn!"

"Removed to where?" Loper asked. This change was too sudden, like a conspiracy. If the committee above had not made a mistake, someone had betrayed the uprising!

"I don't know the details. I just heard that something big happened in the west. Those wizards and warlocks did terrible things." The herald, who was also confused, finally lost his patience and shouted to Sauron, "You Is he a monk? Go and organize a medical team, the authorities say it’s important to save people.”

There is no doubt that this order cannot be executed. The order itself was extremely unclear, and there was no clear superior-subordinate relationship between the rebels - it often happened that the committee told them to send captured nobles to a certain barricade, and the insurrectionary team who received the notice immediately hanged them from street lamps. situation.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently. This earthquake was even scarier than the previous heavy artillery. Something extremely heavy hit the ground heavily.

Everyone squatted down instinctively.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, there must be elephants falling from the sky."

There were waves of shaking, as if elephants were falling from the sky and hitting the ground.

"Buzz--" A strange loud noise came from outside the city. People don't know what animal makes the noise, but there is no doubt that this thing is much scarier than an elephant.

"What seems to be over there on the hill outside the city?"

"what is it?"

"Who am I asking you to ask?"

Then an even louder noise came from outside the city. It was the sound of the ground being torn and metal being crushed. It was a sound that had never been heard before. It was as if it came from the abyss of hell. It was a very loud noise that made people's eardrums shake constantly.

That's a roar!

"what--!"

The troops who had been facing each other for several days rushed towards the barricade with shouts of terror. Almost none of them were holding weapons, and even took off their armor as they ran.

There's no way he's here to attack.

"Stop, or we'll shoot!"

The rebels defending the barricades fired several shots into the crowd like pebbles into the sea. The entire army on the opposite side ran over, the infantry and artillery mixed together and ran all over the mountains and plains, and the cavalry scurried around with their crazy mounts.

The fire from the barricade knocked a few of them down, but the others took them completely seriously. There is something extremely terrifying chasing them, even if they are shot to death, it doesn't matter!
Brother Sauron jumped up from Loper's side and quickly grabbed a man who looked like an officer.

"What happened?"

"Let me go, let me go, damn it, monsters, octopuses, bugs are going to be killed, let me go, let me go!"

The officer was in a delirious state, and with amazing strength, he broke free from Sauron and the helpers and fled into the alley like a rabbit.

The hill where the Senate's heavy artillery was deployed cracked. A huge object appeared from behind the crack, looking down at humans through the gap.

A roar as loud as the earth was shattering echoed across the heaven and earth. The huge tentacles tore apart the rock, causing people to surge wildly, and blood dripped from its almost disgusting suckers. It tears everything it touches into pieces, capturing those who don't escape.

There were scattered sparks scattered all over its body. There were actually people in the Senate's heavy artillery unit who were holding their positions, using their 32-pound heavy artillery to bombard the monsters that were close at hand.

Suddenly, a blue-white beam of light penetrated the mountain, and explosions, shock waves, and tsunami-like dust surged over...

The long, soul-shaking sound echoed in the dust that covered the sky and the sun. Heavy cannons rotated in the dimmed sand, and buildings were reduced to ashes. Then Loper saw something in the tornado. That amorphous thing, which seemed to be the incarnation of all evil thoughts, huge, red and yellow eyes...

Not content with that, the guy headed south.

Loper has seen this thing before. In Verona, at the end of the battle, a similar monster appeared!

..."I led the extraordinary commando attack,
"Bertier led the staff and the 10th Army and came later."

Griffith drew up a battle plan, but had to wait for the dictator's approval.

The air was filled with a choking smell, and large tracts were flying like ashes from an incinerator, falling like goose feathers and heavy snow.

The world is shrouded in boundless darkness. Everything as far as the eye could see, ruins and rocks, were scorched by heat rays, leaving behind charred, decaying remains that looked as if they had withered over centuries.

All means of psychic communication have failed. The Dictator ordered Griffith to gather his troops and wait for reinforcements; Bjeran's garrison launched an attack on the hybrid primarch and was defeated.

There is an apocalyptic feeling of uneasiness, chaos and fear everywhere. Debates on parliamentary seats and finances were all silenced, leaving only the eerie loud noise lingering in the air.

The Dictator came to the barracks of the 10th Army with his elders and a large number of reinforcements, preparing to act before the hybrid primarch destroyed Bjelan. After listening to Griffith's report, Salorian did not answer. He walked to the window and stared into the distance - amidst the snow-like ashes and hazy darkness, the ferocious and ominous shadows were unstoppable.

A chaotic, inhuman giant body rose from the ground, its whole body covered with hard and deformed carapace, which looked particularly terrifying. It waved tendrils entwined with electric arcs and set off a huge shock wave, sweeping all buildings and people into pieces.

All the people who were killed were wiped out in an instant, leaving no remains of flesh and blood. Ordinary people who witnessed this monster fell into fear and madness, and fled in all directions, screaming with unidentifiable crazy sounds.

After wiping out the garrison, the hybrid primarch stopped to feed. Countless curly tentacles were rolled up and couldn't catch up with the escaping humans, and were thrown into the hair-splitting mouthparts that bloomed like petals.

“When the era is doomed,
“When you praise prosperity without overestimating your capabilities,

"The sky is shaken, the earth is cracked,

"The wrath of the gods has come upon the world,
"The fate of destruction cannot be rewritten,"

Dictator Salorian murmured unknown verses,

"It's finally opened,

"Reunion in 20 years, or thousands of years of civilization.

"The end of reincarnation."

The dictator turned around and said to Griffith: "I will prepare powerful weapons for you and Vice Admiral Valkyrie. Wait for my news. My students, do not question me."

"Yes, dictator."

Griffith had to withdraw from the command center with Erza.

The situation is already critical. This hybrid primordial is more powerful than any previous monster. Such an incredible creature has not even appeared in the legends of the First Age——

Its outer shell is incredibly strong, its tentacles and dorsal fins light up with blue-white arcs, and terrifying heat rays roar out. The garrison was wiped out in this way, the mountains near Bjerland and Zenor Fortress were scattered by the hot rays of the hybrids, and nearby towns were razed to the ground by flying stones.

If the monsters hadn't stopped to look for food, Beyelan City would have been trampled to the ground.

Under the threat of this monster and the mediation of the dictator, the rebels in the city laid down their weapons and devoted all their efforts to blocking and evacuating.

Why do monsters appear?
The most convincing rumor currently spreading very quickly among the army and citizens is that the caster's excessive and uncontrolled magical activities destroyed the balance of spiritual energy, tore apart the plane, and summoned some kind of indescribable evil. existence - after all, the appearance of the hybrid body is different from the legendary monsters such as dragons and Behemoths, and is not similar to the weirdness in this world.

Dark clouds covered the sky, making it difficult for the sun's rays to penetrate.

Due to the appearance of monsters, order collapsed and it fell into chaos. Faced with threats that can crack mountains and burn down towns, mankind seems to have encountered a real natural enemy and is driven into despair in the abyss of fear.

The hybrids walked in front, and the 10th Army led by Griffith gathered nearby support and scattered troops to follow. Refugees came from all directions, blocking the area around the military camp like an anthill in a flood.

"This won't work," Griffith said to Erza. "If the hybrids start to attack the center of Bayeran City, we will attack, with or without the authorization and support of the dictator."

Erza bit her lip lightly and pulled him out of the military camp.

The two went from the headquarters to the refugee camp. It was here that they heard all kinds of chants, blessings and prayers.

"O Holy Light, please grant me relief and blessings."

The civilian casualties in this area were very heavy. Fearing that the important 10th Army would be destroyed like the garrison, the dictator strictly ordered the army to keep a distance, making even disaster relief difficult.

In this case, the Holy See of the Gods, especially the Holy Light Holy See, whose influence has greatly increased last year, has taken on the main work. The garrison mages everywhere are unable to work. Many of the garrison knights are paladins. The work of treating the injured and organizing rescue work is naturally dominated by believers of the Holy Light.

"It's very similar, isn't it?" said the Huntress, "Don't you think it's very similar?"
